Re: HEEEYYYYYYY

Welcome to the forum Andy.  Glad you found your way here and any friend of Rus is a friends of ours.  Thanks for listing all your gear but for me it was a bit like Concorde passing over smile but I know a lot of people will know what you are talking about! 

I presume you're a local lad (local to me that is) like Rus?  If so, hope to see you at the BIC in May.

Re: HEEEYYYYYYY

A warm welcome from me too Andy! Always when I hear the name Andy (they called me that in New Zealand 35 years ago) it reminds me of that fantastic song Andy from Frank Zappa! You know the song?
Hope you enjoy it here just as much as I do for a very long time.

Keep posting please and again: WELCOME!
